Orlov Chess Academy in Redmond and Seattle

Get ready for an unforgettable summer of strategy, learning, and fun! Our summer chess camps begin the week of June 22 at our Seattle and Redmond locations.

Our full-day camp runs from 8:45 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., with convenient aftercare available until 4:00 p.m. to make scheduling easier for busy families. Half-day options are available.

Campers are placed in two groups by age and skill level so every student can feel challenged, supported, and excited to grow. Each day features engaging instruction in opening principles, middlegame strategy, and student game review.

Families receive a 10% sibling discount, and the best pricing is available when you register at least 30 days before camp.

Give your child a summer advantage with expert instruction in opening principles, tactics, checkmate patterns, and the habits that matter most at the board and beyond: focus, patience, confidence, and resilience. Spots fill quickly, so register early to save your place.
